I disagree with Lieven's grouping.

differently from what I think.
After all, there will be no difference in the final phrase...
This is how I see the phrases in my head: "you want to drink" - {bItlhutlh DaneH}. That's a statement. "you drink" is the object of {DaneH}. All fine. Now I change the entire thing to a question adding a question word: WHEN do you want to drink ("please state the time of your desired drinking event"). In this construction, I see it not as the object of the wanting.
Let's not forget the canon construction {HIq Datlhutlh DaneHbogh yIngu'}. So, ?{HIq DatlhutlhDI' poH yIngu'}? -ter'eS
